Kingfisher?

[thrasymachus]

I had a bottle of Kingfisher in an indian restaurant a year or two ago and thought it was great but I was never able to find it at my liquor store. Then last weekend they had a whole row of six packs ($7.99 a pack...bleh) so I bought one. It was still pretty good, but seems blander than I remember it...do they maybe have new owners...an american brewery or something? Not sure if I am imagining things or it is not as good.

The owner of United Breweries, which makes Kingfisher in India, is involved with the Mendocino Brewing Co. Through him, MBC acquired a brewery in New York that makes Kingfisher for the US.

Apparently it's not just me.

Kingfisher used to be crisper and more flavorful.

I've never had a decent bottle of the stuff in my life. Always skunky. We have a large number of Indian restaurants in and around Princeton, and Kingfisher is on every menu, and, try as I might, I've not been able to even remotely like the stuff.

You may be right. I'm not sure, though.

I'm 61, have drunk beer since I was 4 (Midwest German Grandfather.)

I like Asian food, thought Tsingtao and Kingfisher were excellent before

The micro "revolution." My tastes probably have been "upgraded" by the

availability of better beers.

On the other hand, there has been plenty of time for the beers to change, too.
